usb: Add checks for snprintf() calls in usb_alloc_dev()

2025-07-06T09:00:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 82fe5107fa3d21d6c3fba091c9dbc50495588630 ] When creating a device path in the driver the snprintf() takes up to 16 characters long argument along with the additional up to 12 characters for the signed integer (as it can't see the actual limits) and tries to pack this into 16 bytes array. GCC complains about that when build with `make W=1`: drivers/usb/core/usb.c:705:25: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 3 and 28 bytes into a destination of size 16 Since everything works until now, let's just check for the potential buffer overflow and bail out. It is most likely a never happen situation, but at least it makes GCC happy.

USB: core: Fix unused variable warning in usb_alloc_dev()

2023-08-12T08:03:37+00:00

The kernel test robot reported that a recent commit caused a "variable set but not used" warning. As a result of that commit, the variable no longer serves any purpose; it should be removed.

USB: Remove remnants of Wireless USB and UWB

2023-08-09T12:17:06+00:00

Wireless USB has long been defunct, and kernel support for it was removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and UWB from the kernel tree."). Nevertheless, some vestiges of the old implementation still clutter up the USB subsystem and one or two other places. Let's get rid of them once and for all. The only parts still left are the user-facing APIs in include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h. (There are also a couple of misleading instances, such as the Sierra Wireless USB modem, which is a USB modem made by Sierra Wireless.)

usb: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-07-25T16:20:02+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus. As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they "temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to explicitly include the correct includes.

USB: make usb class a const structure

2023-07-25T15:49:30+00:00

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, remove the usb_class structure and create the usbmisc_class const class structure declared at build time which places it into read-only memory, instead of having it to be dynamically allocated at load time. Additionally, now we register usb class at startup and unregister it when shutting down, so we don't have to count uses of the class. Therefore we don't need the 'usb_class' structure anymore. Due to this fact, remove all static functions related to class initialization and deinitialization. We can't use them in 'usb.c' since they are static and we don't really need them anymore. Since we have to register the class in usb_init function in 'usb.c' and use it in 'file.c' as well, declare the usbmisc_class structure as 'export' in the 'usb.h' file. Debatable moment: the class registration and unregistration functions could be extracted to the 'file.c'. I think we don't want to do this since it would be one-line functions. They would make the code paths more confusing and add calling overhead.

USB: core: Add routines for endpoint checks in old drivers

2023-04-20T09:43:22+00:00

Many of the older USB drivers in the Linux USB stack were written based simply on a vendor's device specification. They use the endpoint information in the spec and assume these endpoints will always be present, with the properties listed, in any device matching the given vendor and product IDs. While that may have been true back then, with spoofing and fuzzing it is not true any more. More and more we are finding that those old drivers need to perform at least a minimum of checking before they try to use any endpoint other than ep0. To make this checking as simple as possible, we now add a couple of utility routines to the USB core. usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and usb_check_int_endpoints() take an interface pointer together with a list of endpoint addresses (numbers and directions). They check that the interface's current alternate setting includes endpoints with those addresses and that each of these endpoints has the right type: bulk or interrupt, respectively. Although we already have usb_find_common_endpoints() and related routines meant for a similar purpose, they are not well suited for this kind of checking. Those routines find endpoints of various kinds, but only one (either the first or the last) of each kind, and they don't verify that the endpoints' addresses agree with what the caller expects. In theory the new routines could be more general: They could take a particular altsetting as their argument instead of always using the interface's current altsetting. In practice I think this won't matter too much; multiple altsettings tend to be used for transferring media (audio or visual) over isochronous endpoints, not bulk or interrupt. Drivers for such devices will generally require more sophisticated checking than these simplistic routines provide.

Merge tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2023-02-24T20:58:55+00:00

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.3-rc1. There's a lot of changes this development cycle, most of the work falls into two different categories: - fw_devlink fixes and updates. This has gone through numerous review cycles and lots of review and testing by lots of different devices. Hopefully all should be good now, and Saravana will be keeping a watch for any potential regression on odd embedded systems. - driver core changes to work to make struct bus_type able to be moved into read-only memory (i.e. const) The recent work with Rust has pointed out a number of areas in the driver core where we are passing around and working with structures that really do not have to be dynamic at all, and they should be able to be read-only making things safer overall. This is the contuation of that work (started last release with kobject changes) in moving struct bus_type to be constant. We didn't quite make it for this release, but the remaining patches will be finished up for the release after this one, but the groundwork has been laid for this effort. Other than that we have in here: - debugfs memory leak fixes in some subsystems - error path cleanups and fixes for some never-able-to-be-hit codepaths. - cacheinfo rework and fixes - Other tiny fixes, full details are in the shortlog All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported problems" [ Geert Uytterhoeven points out that that last sentence isn't true, and that there's a pending report that has a fix that is queued up - Linus ] * tag 'driver-core-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (124 commits) debugfs: drop inline constant formatting for ERR_PTR(-ERROR) OPP: fix error checking in opp_migrate_dentry() debugfs: update comment of debugfs_rename() i3c: fix device.h kernel-doc warnings dma-mapping: no need to pass a bus_type into get_arch_dma_ops() driver core: class: move EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lines to the correct place Revert "driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node()" Revert "devtmpfs: add debug info to handle()" Revert "devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node()" driver core: cpu: don't hand-override the uevent bus_type callback. devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node() devtmpfs: add debug info to handle() driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node() driver core: bus: update my copyright notice driver core: bus: add bus_get_dev_root() function driver core: bus: constify bus_unregister() driver core: bus: constify some internal functions driver core: bus: constify bus_get_kset() driver core: bus: constify bus_register/unregister_notifier() driver core: remove private pointer from struct bus_type ...

USB: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

2023-01-17T16:23:31+00:00

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.
